Mb to MB conversion and difference.

I don't understand either

I believe we should stop helping people with this kind of question because, in my opinion, it's not doing them a favor to give them answers that are a few posts up.

Hello,

I support Thrax's statements!

Kudos to the moderators for your patience and your
respect towards the CCM members.

It's all to your credit :-)

Lipun.

Super fun guys. I read the whole discussion and it brightened my day. You learn some nice things sometimes. Thank you!!!
Good luck for the future!
By the way, 123 Gibit in MB?

Salut

You turn on your brain, open your eyes and read the best answers. You will find out how much 303.6 Mo is in Mb or MB...

303,6 Mo équivaut à 303,6 Mb.

And here's a little summary of this exciting debate:
(source: Wikipedia)

The standardization of binary prefixes in 1998 by the International Electrotechnical Commission specifies the following prefixes to represent powers of 2:

kibi for "kilo binary";
mebi for "mega binary";
gibi for "giga binary";
tebi for "tera binary";
and so on.

Regarding multiples of the byte, this gives[2]:

1 kibibyte (Kio) = 2^10 bytes = 1,024 bytes
1 mebibyte (Mio) = 2^20 bytes = 1,024 Kio = 1,048,576 bytes
1 gibibyte (Gio) = 2^30 bytes = 1,024 Mio = 1,073,741,824 bytes
1 tebibyte (Tio) = 2^40 bytes = 1,024 Gio = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
1 pebibyte (Pio) = 2^50 bytes = 1,024 Tio = 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes
1 exbibyte (Eio) = 2^60 bytes = 1,024 Pio = 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes
1 zebibyte (Zio) = 2^70 bytes = 1,024 Eio = 1,180,591,620,717,411,303,424 bytes
1 yobibyte (Yio) = 2^80 bytes = 1,024 Zio = 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 bytes

The prefixes kilo, mega, giga, tera, etc. correspond to the same multipliers as in all other fields: powers of 10. Applied to computing, this gives:

1 kilobyte (ko) = 10^3 bytes = 1,000 bytes
1 megabyte (Mo) = 10^6 bytes = 1,000 ko = 1,000,000 bytes
1 gigabyte (Go) = 10^9 bytes = 1,000 Mo = 1,000,000,000 bytes
1 terabyte (To) = 10^12 bytes = 1,000 Go = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes
1 petabyte (Po) = 10^15 bytes = 1,000 To = 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes

Traditional multiples [edit]
Incorrectly according to the SI, and before the 1998 standardization, derived units such as kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte were used to represent the following values in powers of 2:

1 kilobyte (Ko) = 2^10 bytes = 1,024 bytes, or 2 to the power of 10
1 megabyte (Mo) = 2^20 bytes = 1,024 Ko = 1,048,576 bytes
1 gigabyte (Go) = 2^30 bytes = 1,024 Mo = 1,073,741,824 bytes
1 terabyte (To) = 2^40 bytes = 1,024 Go = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
1 petabyte (Po) = 2^50 bytes = 1,024 To = 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes
1 exabyte (Eo) = 2^60 bytes = 1,024 Po = 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes
1 zettabyte (Zo) = 2^70 bytes = 1,024 Eo = 1,180,591,620,717,411,303,424 bytes
1 yottabyte (Yo) = 2^80 bytes = 1,024 Zo = 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 bytes

So since 1998: 1 kibibyte = 1024 bytes
1 kilobyte = 1000 bytes

There are still some who confuse byte and bit!

a byte = one octet
one octet = 8 bits

therefore, one should not read a MegaByte but a megaBIT.

Thank you very much

Bonjour, vous allez encore vous énerver quand vous allez voir ma question mais sur dailymotion, je ne peux pas ajouter une vidéo car elle est trop grande mais j'ai l'impression que ce n'est pas ce problème-là
alors, 198,948 KO est = à combien de MO ?
Merci d'avance

So actually, if I understood correctly

1Mo = 1MB = 8Mb = 1024 Kio (or KiB)

and that in ads they give us a value in Go or GB, in reality they are giving us a value in Gio or GiB, which when read by our computer gives us a value in Go or GB, resulting in a smaller outcome, creating an impression of loss, while in fact, it's just a simple lie on paper :)

P.S.: I realize I may have made some mistakes in my summary since I read all the posts in one go, so I apologize if that's the case :s

Sebsauvage!
We understand that it's the office of so-and-so that defines the values of kilo, mega, and other multiples.
But since we are on a computer forum and everyone seeking help uses an OS that makes the mistake, don't you think it would be smarter to use the 1024 system even if it's wrong???
Because what will happen when someone asks for help filling an 800 MB CD with 8 KB files???
Are you going to tell them they can put 100,000 files? When in reality, they can only fit 2,400 more!!!
I think people who come here don’t care about having a lesson on the theory of mega and kilo. They just want answers to their problems.
I choose to help by perpetuating a widely spread error rather than giving correct answers that are simply UNUSABLE in practice.

So, if I understand correctly...

4 MB = 4,194,304 bytes?

I did try to calculate it, but wow, I'm really not sure!

How many MB can you put on a 800 MB CD?

Thank you.

8 mb (megabit) = 1 mo (megabyte)
but beware 8 mB (megabyte) = 8 mo (megabyte)

8 Mo en Mo est égal à 8 Mo.

234 ko ça fait 0,234 MB.

Thank you in advance...

MB = Mo ou pas

Bonjour,
128 Mo équivaut à 128 000 Ko.
